Story Time with Daddy

After dinner Rob, Sam & Katie shared story time.

Sam has recently taken interest in reading the baby einstein catalog that came in the mail. He decided that he would share daddy's lap with Katie as they read about all the cool baby einstein goodies!! The moment was too precious not to capture and share. It is not very often they are both sitting still and focused on the same thing. Rob is so good with both of them and they love their time with him when he comes in from work. Sam lights up with glee when he hears Rob open the door for he knows that he is minutes away from some rougher play that mama doesn't do very well. I really appreciate the down time and it gives me a chance to finish dinner and gear up for bed time rittuals. We love our little angels and are thankful for their incredible personalities and sweet spirits!!

Just Stats No Story

Kate-4 months old

13 lbs. 12 oz.

25 1/4"

Daddy's Little Princess

Look at me Daddy...I'm as tall as Sam

Daddy is so Wise!!

Watching Rob "talk" with Kate touches my heart and fills me with joy that I am not sure I can put into words. He is so sweet with her and you can already tell that he is going to be puddy in her hands. She has such a sweet & mellow personality. She is content with just hanging out and babbling at her toys. Sam was never this calm, so for us this is quite a pleasant phenomenon. I now know that God needed me to experience my high energy Sam first to be able to appreciate and enjoy a calm Kate!! Kate will be four months old this Sunday which is hard for us to believe. She is sleeping like a big girl and giving us 10 hours at night!! We have her well check this Monday, so I will post her new growth stats next week. We love her so much and can't imagine life without her. It is amazing how God enlarges your heart to make room when you thought there was no way you could love another like you did your first born. God is GREAT!!

LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2007

We had such fun this past weekend with family and friends visiting us for Labor Day. Starting on Saturday, our friends Kim & Harry and their son Hunter came into town. Also, Michelle and Philip (Kim's sister & boyfriend) joined us Saturday night for a pontoon dinner cruise. The weather was cool and Rob and I thoroughly enjoyed some adult conversation and a chance to catch up!! On Sunday, they left and headed to Atlanta for the GA Aquarium and a little R&R. As they were leaving, Beckie (Rob's mom) & Deanna (Rob's sister) arrived. Sam was extra excited to see Bebe & DeDe because he knew he was in for some fun and extra attention. On Sunday morning we loaded up the car and drove to Greenville to check out how our new house was coming along. We were surprised to see how much progress had been done the previous week. Who knows...they may be done on schedule. It was so nice having an extra day on Monday to hang out with everyone. Nana & Papa came to dinner Monday night too. All in all the weekend was packed with fun, rest and family! Here are some pictures from the weekend.
